This woman flatfish from A Modern Bestiary published in Horizon in 1968 was drawn by Domenico Gnoli (1933-1969) an Italian painter and illustrator known for his figures stylized to the point of caricature. According to the writer Robert Graves, "The woman flatfish in the old-fashioned bath, though a less urgent monster, is a warning of what may happen if one tries to domesticate even a shallow-water mermaid; she will find the bath narrow and sandless and the fresh water will choke her."

I felt that combining this with handwritten typography and a more free perspective would allow me to best depicts my ideas on paper.
